Wheeler-Olmstead Re-Manufacturing Plant and Planing Mill That tho Wheeler-Olmstead company, plans this fall to abandon its present practice of selling its output as rough and box lumber and that the company will this fall build its own planing mill and re-manufacturing plant, to begin operation this winter or next spring, is a persistent rumor in local lumber circles. J. M. Bedford, manager comment on the rumor. He bo considered but that nothing had been definitely de- ult'd as yet. Should tho company build manufacturing plant, it will mark another Klamath de-' parture from the list of mills which originally sold their entire output as rough and box lumber.' With keener competition in the box shook game, it has been felt inevitable that more and more will local mills concentrate their efforts on producing finished lumber m the higher grades and disposing of their low grade lumber in the form of box shook, making the lat ter purely a by-product.

New Lake Open to Local Men Who Like Fish Campbell Lake Open to Anglers Today, Is Word Campboll Lake, jowe of the Up per Chawaucan watershed, thirty miles northwest or Lakeview, will be opened to fishing July 15 to Aug ust 15 this year, according to an order of the Stato Game Commission dated May 11. The lake, lying high on the Deadhorso rim, was stocked with trout provided by the Game Commission from tho state trout hatcheries three years ago by sports men nnd forest service officials co operating. Those fry have since grown to good size. Opening of tho lake was urged by the Lake County Fish and Game Protective association on the grounds that the fish had grown to such numbers that food in tho lake was insufficient and It was tor this rea son that an open season was allowed. Campbell lake. Is easily accessible by automobile and its shores present ono of the most beautiful outing grounds to be found In Lake county. In addition to tho fine finning which will no doubt be found ' here, the surrounding country offers somo of the best doer hunting In the county and tho lake will no doubt be a mecca for sportsmen ana tnoir camping parties during the open sea- son Just announced.. From Lnkeviow the lake Is reach- ed by waY of the forest service road through Thomns creek ranger sta - Hon to Dairv creek.
